@willsmith

Will Smith has only been on Instagram for a year, but he’s already producing social media gold. He really makes you feel like you’re a part of his journey. Followers get what seems like a very intimate and authentic look at his life – thoughts on his failures and shortcomings included. Whether it’s an actual laugh out loud moment, a few head nods, or even a tear or two, the Fresh Prince will definitely make you feel some type of way.

@patmcgrathreal

Pat McGrath is a Black woman from England and a self-made billionaire. She’s considered one of the most influential makeup artists in the world. She continues to influence the fashion and beauty industry with her luxurious makeup line, Pat McGrath Labs, and as a force behind the behind the brush.

@Jstlbby

Amber Wagner is someone to watch in 2019. The proud BBW and Inglewood native shares with her 1.7 million followers on Instagram her eccentric style, raps, funny tidbits about life, spiritual wisdom, and my favorite — her elaborate two-inch nails. Wagner isn’t new to social media fame, but recently she’s taken a more uplifting approach to being real with her followers.

If you’re looking for major motivation, Tae is serving goals. As a cancer survivor, Stanford student, and fitness enthusiast, her Instagram makes you want to get out of bed and get to work.

@rickeythompson

Rickey Thompson is a whole mood. The Raleigh native and vine veteran dominated the viral Internet scene with shady rants and impromptu dance sessions. He’s walked the catwalk for Alexander Wang and recently made a cameo in a music video for rapper Amine. Thompson is “booked and busy,” so expect more magic in 2019.

@wesleysnipes

Wesley Snipes is considered a legend. He’s known for his various roles in Hollywood and infamously avoiding $7 million in taxes (but not jail time). After serving nearly three years in correctional facilities for tax evasion, he’s definitely found his footing again and a niche on twitter.

@tiamowry

Tia Mowry is more than just half of your favorite childhood duo. She’s a mom, actress, and entrepreneur. Her Instagram is a collection of adorable snapshots of her family, recipes, and what it’s really like to balance motherhood, a career, self, and stardom.
